To celebrate the Easter weekend and raise money for our chosen charities, the WRS UK team held a bake-off. Team members either brought in their own baked goods to sell or purchased some of the tasty creations.?

From banana bread and chocolate orange cheesecake to cookies and pavlova, there was plenty to go around. The money raised has gone towards Samaritans, an incredibly worthwhile UK charity in need of vital donations.?

Stress Awareness Month?

At WRS, we put people first – in more ways than one. With April recognised as Stress Awareness Month, we’ve doubled down on how best we can support the team. And we circulated a survey on employee well-being in the workplace to get it right.

Our team has also received daily tips to improve their mental, emotional, and physical health. Here are just some of the tips we’ve shared with the WRS team:?

• The 4-7-8 breathing technique: Breathe in for four seconds, hold it for seven, and breathe out for eight.
• Practise positive affirmations to promote self-esteem and reduce negative self-talk.
• Go through your social media feeds and delete any accounts that don’t inspire or excite you.

Join the next Stateside cohort?

We’re excited to announce another new member of the US WRS team will be starting on the 1st of May. If you’d like to be a part of our US venture, we’re still looking for more talented individuals to join the next cohort.?
